A drop in city unemployment which was bigger than expected was welcomed by council leader Ken Bodfish.
There are now 5,026 people out of work in Brighton and Hove, a drop of 208 on the previous month and 1,016 during the last year.
Coun Bodfish said: "This is good news for our city in uncertain economic times.
"The figures suggest the local economy remains buoyant despite fears of an economic slowdown."
